Are all news photographers in the tank for Obama?

Obama announced he was running for president 20 months ago, and in all that time I have never seen a bad news photo of him. (The one above is just the latest). Is he just really photogenic, or are all news photographers in the tank for him?

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I predict photos will be much less flattering when the electorate discovers the mistake they've made. Finding someone who admits to voting will be as easy as finding some who believed the world was ending with Y2K. Shortly, it will be just as difficult to find anyone who believed in global warming. He looks like a minority style Alfred E Numan.

"The creation myth was the essential bond that held the tribe together. It provided its believers with a unique identity, commanded their fidelity, strengthened order, vouchsafed law, encouraged valor and sacrifice, and offered meaning to the cycles of life and death. No tribe could survive long without the meaning of its existence defined by a creation story. The option was to weaken, dissolve, and die." ~ E.O. Wilson
